Most Aero Bikes Get This Wrong (Until Now!)
About this episode
In this episode, the hosts discuss the Merckx 525R, Shimano's new groupset, and various cycling news.
Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this video https://feedbacksports.com/ In this week’s episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, Ashley Quinlan returns with Warren Rossiter to hear why the new Merckx 525R might be the best aero road bike that Warren's ever ridden. The duo also discuss Shimano's new Deore XT mountain bike groupset, and pose the question: could this pave the way for the return of a mechanical Shimano Ultegra groupset? Finally, we've got a new Bianchi Specialissima (has Bianchi played it too safe?), bump-smoothing gravel tech, the pro who crashed OVER the finish line (but still won the race) and news that the Tour de France is returning to terrestrial TV in the UK.
